About The Role
- This is both an enablement and an execution role. You'll enable teams by providing them with the environment and knowledge to run a robust quality program. You'll execute by performing tests where appropriate. You are a software engineer first, a quality practitioner second.
- You'll change the way we develop and ship reliable software by “shifting left” on quality, automating our tests, and moving the needle on our key quality metrics.
- You'll guide our world-class software engineering team on our continuous improvement journey.
- You'll enable our engineering teams to thoroughly test their own code through tooling, piloting, advocacy, and education.
- Over time, you'll show continual, meaningful software quality progress, leading to high confidence among business stakeholders, partners, and clients.
